So looking at some files from my RICOH GR IV, compared to the GR MONOCHROME,,, wow, I’m kind of shocked, the black-and-white that come out of the normal GR pale in comparison to the one from the GR monochrome by a lot. I would say the monochrome photos are like… They seem at least, 10 times more punchy, more contrast, and therefore, the photos are more magical and satisfying?

The real litmus test is looking at the photos, blowing it up big on my iPad Pro 11 inch, and kind of trying to judge the visual impact that I get from these photos.

The typical black-and-white photos I’m getting at least it seems right now from the normal GR, the photos simply just don’t seem as punchy and detailed as I would like?
